Training Object Detectors from Few Weakly-Labeled and Many Unlabeled Images
Résumé
Weakly-supervised object detection attempts to limit the amount of supervision by dispensing the need for bounding boxes, but still assumes image-level labels on the entire training set. In this work, we study the problem of training an object detector from one or few images with image-level labels and a larger set of completely unlabeled images. This is an extreme case of semi-supervised learning where the labeled data are not enough to bootstrap the learning of a detector. Our solution is to train a weakly-supervised student detector model from image-level pseudo-labels generated on the unlabeled set by a teacher classifier model, bootstrapped by region-level similarities to labeled images. Building upon the recent representative weakly-supervised pipeline PCL [1], our method can use more unlabeled images to achieve performance competitive or superior to many recent weakly-supervised detection solutions. Code will be made available at https://github.com/zhaohui-yang/NSOD.
